I do practical engineering, and even when I try working on like cutting-edge concepts, in both hardware/software engineering, bc its high level I work within whats possible, bounded by the physical constraints of reality

Most engineers dont worry about 'if it could', those guys are R/D or physicists

And, importantly its a distinctly different 'if it could' that many AI boosters use

Their 'if it could' reats an unproven hypothetical as a proven guarantee given time+money

Its science fiction
